Team:
I have a very small shell program that does this:
while `sleep 86400`
do
..
..
echo "Something"
...
...
done
(86400 is one day).. The program does not seem to wake
up after 1 day, and process what I want it to do
everyday.
If I change 86400 to some smaller number, it seems to
work fine. Could anyone tell why something like this
happens?
Thanks in advance
Brian.
